Dragonwolf, I feel like I've learned so much from you by just from lurking these threads. Thanks for your wealth of knowledge AND your use of sources to back you up

I gained 40kg during the time I was on implanon (though there was other things that also contributed to this) so YMMV I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS and my doctor reccomended I try a pill called Zoely which is similar to Yaz but the two hormones are slightly different and closer to the natural ones your body…

I can eat raw carrot sticks and raw carrot slices but if I eat a raw carrot whole I get hiccups every time without fail

I'm 23 and have the same problem. My knees make an audible crunch when I walk up stairs. My personal trainer has told me I can't run And should avoid stairs until I get it looked at, which I did. I've been referred for an MRI and CT scan but X-rays show my patellas are severely out of alignment, something that apparently…

Perth here too

I had my PCOS diagnosis confirmed yesterday and have been prescribed 500mg of metformin xr I'm to try this for a month and then go back to the doctor to tinker with the dosages. I've not had any real side effects yet so fingers crossed it stays that way

I am cry laughing at this. How did it get there?!

I have exactly the same thing in my right knee. I've previously had x-rays which showed I have a 5mm gap in between my joints. I'd love to know if there's exercises/something I can do to fix it.

Babe alert! You look amazing

bumping, as a lifelong Asthmatic I'm keen to know how everyone manages their asthma and exersise

Wow! You look fantastic, keep up the good work.

This. I don't want religious people shoving their beliefs down my throat, so I won't shove my lack of belief down theirs.

I'm surprised nobody has said this...SPIRULINA :sick: :sick: :sick:

add me to the list! I'm 5'9'', Weigh about 330lb and hoping to cut that down to well under the 200's.

A whole packet of sugar free mints? That's a one way ticket to, er, digestive distress. :laugh:

I do this. If I'm particularly depressed I can't eat and have 0 appetite. Much like today I've had to force myself

I tried to work this out using the roadmap but my TDEE - 30% is lower than my BMR. So confused! The calorie allowance MFP is giving me seems too much, with 150+lb to lose I have a long way to go but I want to do it right.

Mine didn't weigh me properly the first time (thought i was about 10kg), when I did it again properly it asked me if I was carrying something heavy....like an elephant! My Mii also got fat :( Damn Wii Fit.

I am on Effexor (very similar to Pristiq) and my goodness the sugar cravings are insane. I have never been THAT big on sugar until I started Effexor. My boyfriend is on Pristiq and has the same issue. I've started having fruit whenever I crave sweet things, or a glass of water with lemon. You CAN have that sweet treat,…

Thank you, everyone. This really is a fantastic community and I know I will be able to do this with such a great group of people supporting me. Thanks for the tips re: setting goals. I feel like I have so much to lose I don't know where to start. 10% Increments seems doable. The idea that I might one day end up at 65kg…

You can do it :) I have a similar *if not more* goal. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it - good luck!

Thank you :) I already feel miles better and it's only been a few weeks

I have the weakest arms/upper body. My boyfriend says I have t-rex arms!

Perth, Perth, The end of the Earth!

You girls have got to stop the girl hate - it's appalling. She looks fantastic. I cant wait to be like that in the future - STRONG!

22 from Perth - feel free to add me

I'm 22 and looking to lose about 50kg - feel free to add me!
